The word "Maryweld" is an unusual spelling of a name, possibly derived from Old English. The pronunciation can roughly be transcribed as /ˈmɛrɪwɛld/, with emphasis on the first syllable. The "a" in the first syllable is pronounced as in "cat," while the "e" in the second syllable is closer to the "ea" in "bread." The "w" is pronounced like a "v" sound, and the "d" at the end of the word is pronounced with a soft, voiced sound.
